Vintage Gold Tone Stick Pin with Baroque Faux Pearl and Rhinestones

A small horseshoe frame in milgrain-edged gold tone cradles an irregular baroque faux pearl — the shape loose and natural, caught between clear paste rhinestones arching overhead and a single purple rhinestone below. The whole top is barely a centimeter across, but the detail is considered and the proportions careful. A quiet, dressy piece for a lapel or cravat.
